You see in the picture to color a large racing car called a bolide. Do you know what the word bolide means and why cars are called that? In the past, the word bolide was listed in dictionaries only as a term in the field of astrophysics, with the meaning of a large meteor with a very strong light, often passing by with a banging sound; it leaves behind a luminous streak in the atmosphere, sometimes falling to Earth. It is because of these characteristics: speed, loudness, luminous streak that Formula 1 cars began to be called Bolides.
